Performing a refresh in a Java Custom Viewer using J2SE JRE 1.4.2 or 1.4.2_06 may cause the browser to crash

For Users:
1. Cancel the JRE 1.4.2/1.4.2_06 install if prompted when launching a Java Custom Viewer Web site.
2. Install a different J2SE JRE version. Supported J2SE JRE versions that don't have this known limit with the browser Refresh are: 1.4.0 and 1.4.1_02. Get these versions from the Sun Java Web site at http://java.sun.com/products/archive/.

For Developers:
1. Download a different JRE version and place it in the install directory where your Web sites reside, such as C:\ArcIMS\Website\install. Supported J2SE JRE versions that don't have this known limit with the browser Refresh are: 1.4.0 and 1.4.1_02. Get these versions from the Sun Java Web site at http://java.sun.com/products/archive/.

2. For each created Java Custom Viewer Web site edit the following line in /ArcIMS/Website/<Website_Name>/ie.htm file as per your ArcIMS Version, downloaded JRE version and file name.

Code:
codebase = new String(array[0] + "//" + array[2] + "/website/install/j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586.exe #Version=1,4,2");

E.g., if you downloaded JRE v.1.4.0, for ArcIMS 9.0 edit the line to look like this:

Code:
codebase = new String(array[0] + "//" + array[2] + "/website/install/j2re-1_4_0-windows-i586.exe #Version=1,4,0");

This will prompt the client to install a JRE version only if the client machine does not have a JRE greater than 1.3.1 already installed.

3. If you want to force the ArcIMS Java Viewer Applet to run using a specific version of the Java Plug-In then refer to the corresponding article in Related Information, below.
